Reviewing industrial activity after four years of war, the Canadian Minister of Munitions and Supply, the Hon C. D. Howe, announced that 1,100,000 workers are now turning out munitions at the rate of 55,000,000 dollars worth weekly. Over 720,000,000 dollars have gone into new factories, land sites and machinery. In the year ended September 1 expenditure on war production and construction totalled 3,094,000,000 dollars against 1,957,000,000 dollars in the previous year. “The Dominion,” Mr Howe said, “has undergone an industrial transformation which, in normal circumstances, could not have taken place in less than 25 years.”
